Each Cloudstack update is a critical process to prevent production issues. At DIMSI, we aim to reduce downtimes and regressions as much as possible for our end users. We are now implementing automated UI Tests to cover all main use cases whenever a new release is published. Navid and Magali give an overview of how it is being done, and the next steps, including potential integration inside the code project. Magali Pervan Senior Scrumaster, DIMSI partner, Magali is in charge of agility at DIMSI. She helps all project teams to work together in a smooth and efficient atmosphere When not delivering projects on track and on time, she loves traveling around the world to discover other cultures. Navid Abdoul Junior platform engineer, Navid joined DIMSI last summer to help us provide maximum performance and uptime to our customers He is dedicated to guaranteeing fast and reliable customer VM’s backup When not playing with video games, Navid is watching action movies. ----------------------------------------- CloudStack Collaboration Conference 2022 took place on 14th-16th November in Sofia, Bulgaria and virtually. The day saw a hybrid get-together of the global CloudStack community hosting 370 attendees. The event hosted 43 sessions from leading CloudStack experts, users and skilful engineers from the open-source world, which included: technical talks, user stories, new features and integrations presentations and more.

5. • Automated Software Testing Saves Time and Money
• Vastly Increases Your Test Coverage
• Testing Improves Accuracy
• Automation Does What Manual Testing Cannot
• Automated QA Testing Helps Developers and Testers
• Better mood for QA and Dev Team
Why should we automate?
Why we think that automated UI test cases is a good idea
Once we've said that, what’s advantages and
disadvantages of AT?

6. Why should we automate?
Why we think that automated UI test cases is a good idea
Advantages:
• Reliable: less human error
• Reusable
• Better quality software
• Fast
• Less expensive
Disadvantages:
• High investment and training
for the tools
• High requirement for tests
preparations
• Some areas left uncovered

7. At Dimsi, we choose not too much care about disadvantages,
for one reason:
We know, thanks to the agile methods we have put in place,
that commitment and time we feel we are losing sometimes,
is most certainly time we will gain later.
Why should we automate?
Why we think that automated UI test cases is a good idea

8. Starting from an existing code on GitHub - developed about ten years ago, by
@sebgoa - we updated the requirements (Firefox, Python, HTLM/TestRunner in
their most recent versions) and chose the most adapted solution for
automated tests.
We believe that the open-source Selenium solution is the most competitive for
Automated Tests.

9. Why Selenium is a perfect fit for UI test cases on CloudStack
Why we chose Selenium to automate?
Selenium
Selenium is tool kit to automate web browsers.
• Browser based Web Application testing tool
• Open-Source License
• Extensible Framework
• Mobile Testing Android/iOS support
• Write Test Cases using Language of choice Java, C#, Python, Ruby & HTML
• Native Browser Testing support

10. Why Selenium is a perfect fit for UI test cases on CloudStack
Why we chose Selenium to automate?
choose Selenium
• It's a reference on this technology
• This is the solution that was originally implemented on CloudStack
• Multi operating system, multi browsers, multi languages
• Supports parallel test execution
• Open source
• The fastest solution

Let’s build a Selenium test case example based on the first test scenario.
Test Scenario: To authenticate as admin user on apachecloudstack.
Test Steps:
• The admin user navigates to the apachecloudstack sign-in page.
• In the "Login" field, the user enters their registered admin login apachecloudstack.
• The user enters the registered password.
• The user clicks "Login".
Prerequisites:
A registered login ADMIN CloudStack given at the installation.

Browser:
Chrome, Firefox or others...
Test Data:
Legitimate admin login and password.
Expected/Intended Results:
Once admin login and password are entered, the web page redirects to the admin’s dashboard.
Actual Results: As Expected or not
Test Status: Pass/Fail
